When HIFU was new, the treatments were administered to men with the machine mostly controlling the power settings after the urologist defined the boundaries of the prostate. Research by Dr. Mark Emberton in London has shown significantly improved results when the urologist adjusts the power settings according to the individual gland’s response to the heat. Different men will develop differing tissue temperatures with the same power administered. This affects the success of killing cancer and the development of scar tissue afterward.

Only the Sonablate unit allows us to constantly adjust the settings to tailor the treatment to the individual’s responses. See the posting regarding Tissue Change Monitoring for additional advantages of the Sonablate unit over other HIFU technologies.
